About the Role

What if your voice could directly shape how AI understands real human speech? We're looking for professional voice actors and voice-over artists with an authentic Welsh accent to take part in paid studio recording sessions for a leading AI speech research project.

This is a rare, in-person contract opportunity for experienced voice talent based in Wales. You'll be recorded in a professional studio environment, performing natural conversational speech that helps AI systems learn to understand how real people talk — with all the rhythm, nuance, and character that makes Welsh English distinct.

This project does not involve voice cloning.

• Participate in single-speaker sessions and dual-speaker dialogue recordings
• Deliver realistic, unscripted-sounding dialogue across a variety of everyday scenarios
